Abstract (en)

[origin: US4412166A] A stepper motor drive circuit is provided for preventing undesirable cross conduction on complementary winding drivers during switching. The circuit provides a current path from a source through at least one winding about a core in the motor; the path has two branches. There is a first switching device in the first of said branches switchable to conduction or non-conduction through the branch and a second switching device in the second of said branches switchable to conduction or non-conduction through the second branch. Sensing means, operative during the switching of said switching devices, sense the non-conductive state through the branch being turned off. Means responsive to the sensing by said sensing means of the non-conductive state, then switch the switching device in the branch being turned on to conduct current through said branch.
